Merry Christmas!

I knew today would start out well when my kids slept in past 7 a.m. There hadn't been any snow here the day before, but sometime over the night a nice blanket of white dropped down to cover the neighborhood as well.

The kids were all excited to see their new gifts, and to give gifts to each other. I was excited about new sweat pants and a sweatshirt. One might say expectations lower as you grow older, but honestly- these are the most comfy lounging clothes. Add in a cup of cocoa and a bunch of happy kids playing together at my feet and it makes for the perfect Christmas.

I hope all of you are surrounded by loved ones. I wish for you to have a Merry Christmas, and a very happy, blessed, New Year!
